Casa de Cha Arte Nova, Aveiro, Portugal Partnership with Silva Rocha and Ernesto Korrodi is the practical translation of the originality and talent of the two artists, materialized in one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Considered by all as an architectural "ex-libris", the richness of its facade results from the skillfully sculpted stone, combined with the art of wrought iron, one of the most representative materials of this artistic movement. Also noteworthy is the eagle that, from the top of the front elevation, enhances and enhances this architectural piece. Currently, the Museum of Art and a Tea House operate here, which at the end of the day becomes a night entertainment bar.
Museu de Arte Nova, Aveiro, Portugal Art Nouveau Major Pessoa House.
Antiga Capitania do Porto de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal The Captaincy building of the Port of Aveiro currently belongs to the Municipality of Aveiro. It is also known as “Capitania dos Arcos” and its history is really long.
This building, whose first floor was built in 1830 on the arcades of a tidal mill, is one of the most emblematic in the city and is distinguished by its superior architectural quality.
It functioned as a support building for the José Ferreira Pinto Basto porcelain factory, which founded the internationally known brand Vista Alegre. Later, in 1903 a second floor was built for the installation of the School of Industrial Design, which operated there until 1918. In the same year, it was sold to a private individual, with the side tile panel being placed. A few years later, in 1925, the building was sold to the Ministry of the Navy for Captaincy services. At the end of the 20th century, it underwent renovation works for the installation of the Municipal Assembly. Nowadays it also works as an art gallery.
Centro de Congressos de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal The Cultural and Congress Center is part of an emblematic building of Aveiro's industrial architecture. “Fábrica Jerónimo Pereira de Campos” is the old designation of this building, built between 1915 and 1917, according to a project by Architect José Olímpio.
Since its opening in 1995, it has become a space par excellence for congresses, work meetings, exhibitions, concerts and plays.
Currently, the building also houses the Institute of Employment and Professional Training, the Employment Center and the services of the Municipality of Aveiro. In the artificial lake is located the beautiful statue of "Maria da Fonte". In the sixties, a Puritan movement shocked by its nakedness removed the statue from the square where it was, to a more modest place (in Parque Infante D. Pedro). It was placed here much later, to give luck to young unmarried girls, and now rivals the Maneken Pis from Brussels and the Copenhagen mermaid in miraculous abilities.
Monumento ao Ovo Mole, Aveiro, Portugal Sculptural set of 5 elements; 3 with the shapes used in traditional Aveiro egg sweets, the barrel, the mussel, the whelk; and two in a parallelepiped form where the configuration of the same elements can be seen, in an excavated mold, as if they had been removed.
